Default Ladybird Rhyme.

This was requested two or three weeks ago and I have found it in the Oxford
Dict.of Nursery Rhymes.
To be told, with the child, to a Ladybird on the back of their hand and
blown off with a puff when finished.

"Ladybird Ladybird fly away home.
Your house is on fire and your children all gone.
All except one and that's Little Ann, and she has crept under the warming
pan".

I don't know the origin of the rhyme. Young children do enjoy it and reminds
them that ladybirds are harmless.
Best Wishes Brian. 'flayb' to respond.
